Fun site and useful for planning what to eat when traveling
From 3 comments
This is the first resource I look up when I land into a country while traveling. It gives you a better idea of what to look for in Yelp and other foodie platforms.
farbodsaraf on HNGreat idea, and I had fun exploring some local dishes.
deanalevitt on HNEnjoyable website. I bet it only scratches the surface as in the USA there are several (famous?) regional foods not mentioned. Would be great to see the site expand.

Lists fairly accurate for some countries
From 3 comments
NL and SK fairly accurate. Some stuff that's not usually mentioned in tourist guides. Good job!
yread on HNNot sure about this. We (my family and some friends) eat galettes and raclette on a regular basis. Maybe not weekly, but at least monthly (no raclette in summer though). I found…
k_ on HNManila is correct. Though the author is from "Manile" lol. No Japan - wow, ok. USA seems accurate, for thanksgiving. Deep dish pizza can be an "American" thing or a Chicago…

Objections
Lists include tourist dishes rather than what locals eat
From 4 comments
As a German, I can assure you that every person I know, including old people, eats Pizza more often than any of the dishes on this list. The listed foods are the answer to some…
matt4077 on HNOh, boy. Spain is pretty bad [0]. Nobody eats paella that often. Nobody who isn't a tourist drinks sangría. There is also no mention of northern cuisine except for pulpo a feira.…
glastra on HNsame in France. galettes mixed with raclettes, sure some local somewhere in France has that on its menu often enough, but then I miss the point of this website, because those are…
LoSboccacc on HNAs a french, I may order, at a restaurant, most of the plates listed here and I may eat at home one of those once a month. As said previously, Foie Gras and Oysters are not…

Missing major regional and national dishes

> Content still correct. I'd dispute that. It's correct for Baravia or maybe even southern Germany, but for example in the region around Cologne (Rheinland), Sauerbraten is…
Xylakant on HNSeems like Mexico is missing, and that whilst Mexican food is seen as a cultural treasure by UNESCO. They also have some pretty 'identifying' food that spread around the world.…
Insanity on HN> No results found for "Sweden". > No results found for "Sverige". You probably don't have all of the countries, yet. Fair enough. >Norway > Kaviar / Caviar in a tube That's…
renholder on HNYou know this is going to trigger a lot of people [1]. - Jam Roly Poly is something you'd eat at school. I don't think I've ever seen it on a restaurant menu. - Mince pies are…

Search returns no results for many countries and seems broken
From 3 comments
I actually thought the search was broken (none of the first 10 destinations I thought of had any results), but there's just very few articles. It might be better to have…
_-___________-_ on HNNo results found for "italy". Show stopper.
gesman on HNNo Italy?

Mobile interface and layout problems
From 1 comment
The interface is pretty atrocious on mobile. The food photos don’t center. Scrolling the article seemed to jump back to the main index improperly. I left the site due to user…

Add more countries and regional breakdowns

German one has several typos a native German would not make. You can tell the pronounciation is a bit off. Content still correct. Should also be further split up by region. Often…

Add search autocomplete and better no-results handling

_-___________-_ on HNAdditionally, since it's a place search, maybe add place autocomplete. So it's obvious if the place you search for is not in the list. I also thought the search was broken

allendoerfer on HNSmall typo on your German page, it's called Knackwurst (locally it might be Rostwurst, Bratwurst), not Knockwurst. Other than that, pretty accurate.
